The Celts? I thought it was much older than the arrival of the Celts in Britain, was i wrong?

[โ€“] Noite_Etion@lemmy.world 17 points 4 months ago

No you are correct - The Celts showed up about 2000 years after Stonehenge was built.

[โ€“] PugJesus@piefed.social 12 points 4 months ago (2 children)

I believe the Celts still used Stonehenge and like places for religious rituals, even though they were built long before the Celts' arrival.

Score! Free automated calendar!

Ah shit, it's not calibrated right. These guys moved these giant rocks but placed them where they would have needed to be 2000 years ago, not today. They should have added wheels or built it on a spinning plate.

Honestly, it already being there makes doing rituals in it even more metal.
